Odin came down with a fever all of a sudden last Friday so we took him to the doctor. He had no symptoms other than the fever so the diagnosis was either a urinary tract infection, or he was "just sick." It was too early to test him for a UTI -- why bother putting him through that anguish when he's only had the fever for a few hours, we might as well just see if he gets better -- so we just took him home and decided to just help him feel better.
Today he woke up with a fever still, so we took him in to just check on things. He still had a low grade fever even though he was on Motrin so we decided he could have the test, just to cover all the bases. Well, he had nursed early in the morning but by this time it'd been a while and he just didn't need to pee. They tried to cath him (yikes, I had him alone because Alyssa was at school so she couldn't make him feel better afterward) but got literally nothing. And then we tried again later when Alyssa got there, and again nothing. We finally gotit and took him home.
But now he's got a cold and a sore throat. He's losing his voice! Poor little dude.
Also, he's got a new word that he says all the time. "Bitch."

That's awful! It's so scary when your child is sick, I remember it well.
